THE BosroNIANs.


On Friday and Saturday next the Bosto-
mans will appear at City Hall. Friday
night night 1.-The Poachers" will be given,
"Fanchonette" at Saturday matinee, and
'Fatinitza" Saturday night. 1.-THE PoacE-
ers" win be given as the first entertainment
in the Stockbridge extra course, aud "Fati-
nitza" as the second entertainment in the
regular course. Stage Director Well of
"The Bostonians," was not restricted as to
costumes in the purchase of scenery, cos
tunes and properties for the forthcoming
season, and the gentleman named is authori-
ty for the statement that, with the single ex-
ception of lrvlng's, no company, operate or
otherwise, has ever started in America so
well equipped in all directions. In the set
ting of the harem scene in Won Suppe's
"Fatnitza," Mr. Well determined to secure
as sumptuously oriental an effect as import
ed hangings and costume stutfs, rich divans
and all the rest of it could produce. Special
scenery will be carried for this, and the only
deviation from the strictly accurate setting
will be the introduction of Moorish arch in
place of the purely Byzantine portal with
its right angles and severe traceries. The
floor will be mosaic, and the dado of lilies,
while from the freze hang tapestries of ORR
entail stuff, imported for the purpose. and
with all the Turkish and peculiar richness.

EGYPTIAN lUXURiES.
The Delicious Coffee and Soothing Ma
ghiieh of the Khe,live's Subjects.

The Delicious Coffee and Soothing Mar
giiieh of the Khelives Subjects.
Inquiry into the method of preparing
the delicious coffee of Egypt-coffee
served in minute enps, even smaller
than the after-dinner coffee cups of
France and of the same straight-sided
shape-brought to light the following
facts:
First, the coffee should be pure Mocha
from the little island so near out in the
Mediterranean and, by the way, it is
almost impossible to get the real article
since it is all engaged years ahead.
Then the coffee is ground as fine as
flour. Next, a small amount of the
coffee and the necessary amount of
sugar is put into Il brass or copper YES
sci shaped exactly like an ordinary
baby's tin rattle. with the cover taken
off of one of the feet ends. The cup
thus formed and containing the
mixture of coffee and sugar
is filled nearly full of water and is held
by the handle over the fire until
the coffee boils; then it is withdrawn
and allowed to cool moment, and is
then held over the fire and the coffee
allowed to come to a boil again; once
more it is cooled and after the coffee
comes to boil the third time it is ready
and is poured into the little cups. The
brass coffee boiler generally holds
enough for two cups, though larger ones
are sometimes used. some holding four
cupfuls The liquid is thick and
brownish-black with a light colored
froth on the top. and it is delicious.
After the coffee is drank, at the bottom
of the cup remains about three tea
spoonfuls of sediment that is like thick
mud and is the coffee deposit. This
coffee and a glass of watsar and an am
Der mouth-piece on the end of the ten
feet long flexible stem of the narghileh
are the sights above the tables IN all
directions. and, searching below, we
find scattered around the glass
vessels half filled with water to which
the sna&ey stem may be traced.
1t Is decidedly Il lazy man ssmoke, as
the tobacco is very mild and half an hour
isreauired to get half d smoke, and how
long pipe will last know one knows.
An hour and half Is rs long as

take an inyeterate smoker to enjoy one
of these water pipes, but when the in

too hard. Smoking narghileh differs
from other kinds of smoking in that
the smoke ali goes through the water

Franz Halls Masterpieces.

Harlem has its museum of paintings
like all the other towns of Holland. The
largest American city might consider
itself richly endowed if it possessed such
pictures as are found in most of the
Dutch cities of 10, 600 inhabitants. Art
students and connoiseurs make their
pilgrimage to Harlem to see the works
of Franz Halls. Portraits of his are
everywhere. but here only can be seen
his great compositions. Halls differed
from the other Dutch painters in re-
gard to methods of labor and finish.
What they did with slow. careful,
studied exertion he accomplished in a
manner equally effective and more
spiritual with few hasty touches.
Never has an artist done more with the
expenditure of so little labor. No artist
could have seized on traits of personal
character and brought them SO prompt
" to the surface without he had had an
insight more than merely artistic. His
portraits are not only like living, breath
ing, speaking personages, but they rep
resent every individual at his best, in
his noblest mood and inspired with his
finest and most piquant thought.-Cor.

is little to fear. 1t is very pretty ex-
pertinent, but, happily, there is little

Old Tom and the Oysters

tAeiaFllte tfal tribune
A novel scene was witnessed a short
time ago in front of an establishment. the
principal business of which is dealing in
oysters. A measure, in the bottom of
which were few oysters, sat on bench.
A cat. with an evident taste for bivalves,
sat artiscally balanced on the top of the
measure, while with his right forepaw he
reached down among the oysters, occa-
sionally bringing a nice large one to the
surface. The cat was doubtlessly an old
timer and had fshed for oysters before,
and whenever he succeeded in making a
good catch he would quietly Jump down,
take bivalve in his jaws and walk back
of and probably under the building, after
few moments reappearing and watching
his opportunity to steal another oyster.

below and is thus purified, and also In
the method because in place of short
pulls is substituted deep breath and
the smoke is taken into the lungs 1t
Is not possible to smoke the narghileh
as pipe is smoked, so that those
fearing to inhale tobacco should never
attack this water pipe, also called the
''hubble-bubble, - which seems a very
good name and appropriate, too, as
it expresses the noise made by the
separate bubbles as they rise to the
surface of the water from the bottom
of the vertical pipe that leads up to the
| tobacco.
| The natives take their coffee and
strong pull at the pipe, which is a regu-
| lar piece of furniture, as soon as they
get up in the morning, and seem to
keep at it all day, too. They claim
also that the narghileh is good for colds,
and they deserve credit for having
found an agreeable thing that is good
for any ailmcnt, and that will replace
fried onions around the neck of the I'M
| fortunate soul with the cold.
The cafe is as great an institution
with the people of the Orient as it is
with the French, and the warm climate
makes the shaded outdoor tables the
popular ones, and they are crowded all
day, whether along the Mohammed Ali
| square and in the crowded business
| places or in the back alley-ways where
the visitors sit or recline on cane-bot-
toned lounges and meditatively draw
long draughts of peace. Where all
these men get living is a mystery, as
thousands of them seem to do nothing
all day but drink coffee and smoke.
The shop-keeper in his little 1Ox10 store
smokes his narghileh while waiting for
a customer. The thing is as necessary
to an Egyptian as his hat, and possibly
more so; and the comfortable express
| sion on the face of one of these smoking

EUGENiE'S CROWN.
The Magnificent Imperial Bauble in a Ne
York ,Iewe!ry store

York JeweIry store.
This is Xe-Empress Eugene S
CROWN said prominent Broadway
ieweler to reporter, as he held up a
| diamontl-decked crown.
This interesting and valuable SOU
venir of the Napoleonic dynasty has a
most interesting history, and the man
ner in which it came into the possess
sion of a Yankee jeweler is a most
unique and remarkable story.
Shortly before the Waterloo of Sedan
the Empress came to the conclusion that
the old crowns lying around the house
| were hardly up to the requirements of
| the latest styles in crowns and she de-
cided to have a new one made, and so
she sent to Duriquet, the leading jew
eler of the gay city, and ordered him to
get up q crown entirely of diamonds,
beside which all the other crowns of the
effete monarchies would pale their in
significant fires.
The Empress had the usual royal dis
regard of other peoples money, and
told him not to mind the expense. The
crown in the Broadway jewelers. WIN
dow was the result.
The Empress thought the crown the
incest one she had ever worn, but she
was finally obliged to part with it after
many years. She kept it, in fact, until
after her son, Louis, was killed while
fighting the Zulus. Then, despairing
of further use for the insignia of her
royal rank, the costly toy was returned
to its maker at the original price, $780,
900.
Duriquet was q jealous Royalist and
adherent of the house of BOnaparte,
and preserved it sacredly as relic of
the monarchy until one day an intimate
friend gave Duriquet q surprise party
by offering to buy the crown just as it
was and making an advance on the
price paid by the Empress. The crown
was sent to the Americans hotel. and q
few days after was brought by him to
the United States.
The gentleman was q well-knOwn
man about town, and especially noted
as an opera-goer at the Academy dur
ing Colonel Mapleson's management.
He was said to have been an
tSlFtl'ti GUILTY. u VI IL ~
and after having for a long time paid
her assiduous attention he one
day sent Il letter to the fair prima-
donna offering to place the historic
crown upon her brow. She showed the
letter to her husband and he intimated
Indirectly to his wife's adorer that he
had best transfer his affections to
moro con p0io1 soil
The news that the prima-donna was
welded was news to the wealthy owner
of the crown. and in the confirmation
of its truth he was taken suddenly i'll,
and has since been confirmed invalid.
Recently he has placed the tiara in the
hands of the jeweler mentioned to dis
pose of.
The jeweler showed the precious
bauble to reporter. 1t is composed of
two thousand fine-cut, old mine stones,
set in old-style silver, with gold lining,
the stones averaging from one-quarter
carat to eighteen carats each. The
center stone in front is fifteen caratD
weight.
The crown is twenty inches in cir
conference, designed in a wreath of
violet leaves. with blossom of the
viOlets rs 4 center ornament, in the
center of which is the fifteen carat gem.
